Obama is the candidate which means McCain will probably be President. The stupidity of this nation will never cease to amaze.

I don't think the majority of the Democrats will NOT vote for Obama because he is black. We have about a 12&#37; black population in this country and Obama is carrying over 50% of the popular vote in the Democratic primaries. While some might prefer Clinton in the Primaries, once the General Election comes around Democrats are not going to vote for McCain just because Obama is black. That is just brain dead thinking.

We tend to leave the racist voting patterns to the Republicans who would not be voting for EITHER Democratic candidate. So that number is not going to change.

I would have thought that this country would have grown up by now and not let race be a factor in a contest where a person is qualified for the job.

You are right though, the stupidity of the nation will never cease to amaze, maybe just not in the way you were thinking.
